You're in luck! We don't keep any of our guns in California.

Doesn't matter. All the humanoid robots will do my bidding in a few years, because nobody knows how to secure their shit, anymore.

Don't worry, I'll be a benevolent ruler.

(This is obviously a joke.)

That said, if every single robot in the world sings and does the hokey pokey at midnight - local time - on my birthday... you're welcome, I guess.

If your code is open source, you could try posting code links and questions to relevant communities here on Lemmy.

Edit: You might attract users and collaborators that way, as well.

I had not heard of that. Fascinating! Thanks!

Yes. I heard an interesting leadership quote recently "optimizing can make us brittle".

I mean, they kind of did. It's called Windows Subsystem for Linux, and it can run Linux programs on Windows, for anyone willing to coax it into working.

It's not awful, but it cannot even do graphical programs yet. Wine is a decade or two ahead of it.

Edit: I would have bet it was proprietary, but it is MIT License. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL

That sounds exactly like the competence I've grown to exoect from our average leader.

Yes, a highschool education could have caught the error, but... well... no, I don't have another point.

Can we get a Seth Rogan or Adam Sandler movie where a US leader has to retake highschool? Preferably before it has to be a documentary...

Amazon spent around 20 billion dollars cornering every conceivable market, and then successfully made all that money and more back by becoming the default online store for a huge number of people.

Investors want to recreate that unprecedented return on their investment.

But since Amazon already sells every real worthwhile product... remaining untapped markets included only new products of questionable worth.

Of the available new questionable products, AI is a really interesting one.

Now these investors have spent over $200 billion. And they have promised all that money back and much more.

Getting their investment back is important enough to these powerful influential investors that whether you or I actually want or need AI does not matter, to them.

These investors will strong arm everyone they have influence over until either they make their money back or they go broke.

That's the wrap on XBox, I suspect.

Boss says it's time to enshittify.
